A promise made


Home Coming, originally uploaded by King Kieran.

Today I saw on the BBC news website and article about Jono the breakfast DJ in London.

He has moved hima and his family back home to look after his elderly mother. It was the dying wish of his fatehr that he always take care of her. As I read it I was amazed by the fact that his family means so much to him. In an age where family life is not a priority and values seem long forgotten, he has chosen to uphold them at a huge cost.

It gives hope that maybe we can bring back these values, that they are still present in many people.

I know from being away form my family my love for them grew. We had to work at building real relationships. We actually started to talk about our feelings and became more open. It may have taken thousands of miles but it was worth every moment for what I have now.
